What is the Solana Generating Station Project?
The Solana Generating Station is a solar electric power
plant that will be
located about
70 miles southwest of Phoenix near Gila Bend, Arizona.
Solana will use concentrating solar power (CSP) technology coupled with
the ability to store energy during non-
sunlight hours, to better meet
Arizona
resident's peak demand.
Project Components:
- A new CSP electric generation facility, which if
in operation today, would be the largest solar
power plant in the world.
- A double circuit 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line
to interconnect generation from the Project
site with Arizona Public Service Company's (APS') Gila Bend Substation.
- Upgrades to the Existing Gila Bend Substation.
